Four chapters into The People's History (front to back, no cheating this time), so I can participate in the discussion thread this month, but then my Amazon order arrives...
The Long Emergency
Crossing the Rubicon (finally)
Ornx and Crake (Atwood)
9-11 (Chomsky)
What to do? Even I can't read 5 books at once! My head will explode. How do I choose?

1. I wish I could help you, I'm reading about 5 at once myself |
|
Uh, go with 9-11 by Chomsky. I read it pretty fast, so it might go by quick for you.

I figure I can get through it by tomorrow, then I promise to read 5 chapters of Zinn before I start another one! lol

3. I'm trying to read a Mike Mansfield bio, but I do have a few others |
|
I haven't even touched for a while that I should finish first. Not to mention newspapers, magazines etc. It never ends. :)

4. Grab a Big Bag of Chips |
|
and sit yourself down and the reading will go quickly. I understand the problem. I always have four or five books going at one time--one in each room so when there is a free moment, I have one handy.

9-11 - quick read, finished that right after I got it.... Zinn- just finished it last thursday... Ornx and Crake - was really good - light reading after these others... halfway thru The Long emergency...
Crossing the Rubicon is going to take a while though... saved the biggest for last.

It takes me forever to read a book. I will be lucky to finish Zinn by Christmas.
